How do I play the video from the first time I turned my MacBook on? Is it still on the HDD?

i think it is on the HD somewhere, as you could take out the CD before that.

The movie is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup\ Assistant.app/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources/intro.mov

The audio for it is here:

So I suppose you just stumbled across the files by accident one day, WJ?

It should play if you do a fresh install. IIRC it will not play if you do an upgrade install or Archive and Install.

I suspected they were in the Setup Assistant package somewhere so I just had Spotlight search the package for movies and there it was.

Just in case somebody else wanted to play this as well, inorder to play the video and audio file at the same time, I chaged the preferences in Quicktime so that things start playing as soon as you opne them, and then i just opened them at the same time.
